You should have some "simple" goals to achieve to have fun.

Maybe:
1) Try to not be relegate if you like your conference
2) Try to access PO
3) Try to access PO several times
4) Try to win PO (one day, maybe a long time to do that ^^)

Buy some cheaper oldies to achieve that (or not, that may be not necessary) and train players/save all the money you can at the same time.

I played for 2/3 seasons with only young players and foghting against bots, it wasn't fun. I stayed because of forum, i was lucky my league was nice.

There is one simple answer:
Play to have fun.

All answers are somewhat good. It depends of each manager: each has his own goals. For exemple: my goal is to train guys i draft. It's what i like. And try to build a good team with this foundation. I didnt have success (for now) but i have fun since i found what i like in this game.

And i have restart fairly often. So i know all the good advice.

At the end of the day, you have to choose your formula. Maybe a bit of fun with a bit of reason (see good advice)

There is no "bad way" to play. It's a game of test.

So let's have fun.. and if you are successfull.. it's even better! ;)

Ps: sorry for my tentative english..

Hey, I was in your situation in div IV U.S. a couple of seasons ago. As it is your first season, it isn't impossible to win your league. In division 4, teams don't really manage game shape or enthusiasm, just look at the guy in 1st place in your league. I was able to do that and win my division my first season. Then since you are not bounded by the salary floor for the first 24 weeks, you should take advantage of that and save as much money as you can. I think the general consensus is to put all that money into the arena and I guess I'd have to agree but to build up a large arena takes millions which honestly does equate to a few of seasons. That could be boring. I think I am more on the side of being competitive, but it really doesn't take much in div.4. I'm currently only a couple of thousand above the salary floor (73k) in div. 4 and I'm confident I will be promoting this season.
